This is what id personally get for your setup. Reasonble cost, should hit 500+ mB/s and lots of storage.
So for the base chassis Id get this https://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-FS12-TY-C2100-2x-QUAD-CORE-E5520-2-26GHz-8GB-RAM-2x-TRAYS-H700/281725798891?hash=item41982a89eb:g:q08AAOSwnF9Y7kwN
300USD
They have gotten more expensive since it looked last, but still a good deal. Dual quad cores that will be fine. 8gb of ram will work, but extra will be used as a cache and make it faster. This server has lots of ram slots and registered ddr3 ecc isn't too expensive, so id fill it up with 72gb.
10gbe nic. Id picked this one, any should work.

Here is where there are more options. You can either use the included hardware raid card, or go with zfs. They both have pros and cons, but id personally go zfs here. For that you need a hba so the system can use the drives directly with no raid. Get a h200.
This will work fine https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PERC-H200-8-Port-6Gb-s-SAS-SATA-RAID-PCI-E-Controller-047MCV/282841918082?hash=item41dab12a82:g:7TMAAOSwWkFafd-4
40USD
Then for os id suggest freeNAS. It uses zfs and freeBSD and is basically a nice web interface for this. If you like linux and the command line, go dive in, but freeNAS is a simpler solution for most users.
You will need a usb stick to install the os on, get a 8 or 16gb one for about 10 bucks
10USD
Drives. You have a few options here. Id go bigger so you can expand easier in the future.
These are a great deal and have wd reds in them, id go for them if you can. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-8tb-external-usb-3-0-hard-drive-black/5792401.p?skuId=5792401
Otherwise get ironwolfs or wd reds. Otherdrives will work fine, but nas drives are much more here, you have virbrations that they can help with.
12x 8tb drives = 1960USD and gives you about 70TiB usable with raid z2.
Nintendo are up against Microsoft and Sony when it comes down to gaming networks on the console. Microsoft and Sony are rocking the top 3 with a tie for first place on the network quality. Though both have a great and stable network, Nintendo is producing the better games in my opinion.
I like the games that come out for the Nintendo console better, no doubt. But I straight up don't play them as often because I don't have anyone to play them with.
Nintendo are really losing the race this way, so them looking into making the online experience better is a great step in the right direction if you ask me.
Why do region locks exist anyway? They mostly produce their own games, so why do they block players from around the world from interacting and enjoying the game together?
Alright, that was my opinion on this topic. What do you guys think?
There are some major games that are not region locked like Mario-Kart 8. They couldn't possibly region-block such a highly anticipated title, it would lose them too much money...
But one of my all time favorite games, Mario Super Striker, I could not play with people from around the world!
